Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough recipe
  • 1-½ cups buffalo sauce divided
  • ⅓ cup Blue cheese or Ranch dressing divided
  • 2-½ cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 12 ounces shredded mozzarella
  • 4 to 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 green onions sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 500°F (or an outdoor pizza oven to 920°F)
  • Divide the pizza dough into two to four round balls, depending on the size of pizzas you want. Stretch and shape each of the dough balls on a lightly floured surface.
  • Mix half of the buffalo sauce with the shredded.
  • Use the rest of the buffalo sauce to spread a light coating over each of the pizza crusts. Leave the outer 1” bare for a crust. Drizzle some of the Ranch or blue cheese dressing on top of the buffalo sauce.
  • Spread the shredded chicken mixture over the top of the pizzas, then top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Scatter red onions slices and blue cheese crumbles on top.
  • Bake in a standard oven for 12 to 18 minutes or in an outdoor pizza oven for 90 seconds. Make sure the cheese melts and the crust gets golden brown. 
  • When you remove the pizzas from the oven, sprinkle them with green onions and drizzle with Ranch or blue cheese dressing and serve. 

Notes

  • One pizza dough recipe will make four 12-inch pizzas. If you want to make fewer pizzas, you can freeze some of your pizza dough for another time. 
  • If you are using an outdoor pizza oven, make four 12 inch pizzas. If you are using a regular oven, you can make two larger pizzas or sheet pan pizzas. 
  • Make sure you rotate the pizza regularly if you use an outdoor pizza oven like the Ooni. 
  • If you lower the temperature of your outdoor pizza oven, simply cook the pizzas longer. 
  • If you use an indoor oven and you have a pizza stone, preheat the stone for 1 hour before cooking the pizza. The pizza stone will give the crust a crispier texture.
